And here’s a note from PowerPlan:

My name is Matt Crye with PowerPlan Consultants. PowerPlan is a medium sized consulting and software company specializing in providing financial systems to very large, capital intensive companies such as utilities (Southern Company), telecoms (AT&T), railroads (Norfolk Southern), and petrochemical (Chevron) companies. Although we have clients located across the US and Canada, we are principally located in Atlanta. In 2009 we had revenues of $38 million, 125 clients, and a staff of 75 consultants.

PowerPlan Consultants provides an excellent and exciting environment for career development. As the recognized leader in financial systems for some of the largest and most asset intensive corporations in the US, our consultants develop and maintain broad skill sets including accounting, software design and development, change management, and process design. We are a compact and efficient team, with individuals assuming responsibilities and roles suited to their nature and talents.

To summarize, PowerPlant Consultants offers an opportunity for candidates to become part of an entrepreneurial business at a key moment in its history:
• We’re the leader within our market segment, recognized as best-in-class and have significant momentum to win remaining market share;
• We’re small enough for you to establish yourself quickly as a key member of the team;
• We have product dominance in several areas, resulting in natural opportunities for growth in adjacent products, services and vertical markets.

Over the years, PowerPlan has hired many outstanding individuals from Georgia Tech principally with backgrounds in Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or Mathematics. Specifically, we seek candidates with the following characteristics:

- Strong Analytical Skills
- Self Motivated – Entrepreneurial
- Proven Leadership Ability
- Good People Skills
- Must Have Excellent Grades – 3.5+
- Demonstrated Ability to Learn

We are experiencing exceptional growth and have immediate positions for May and December 2010 graduates. In the last 18 months we have hired 12 engineering graduates with an average GPA of over 3.65. They represent the top of their class.

Please reply to Amy Arra at aarra@pwrplan.com with an attached resume and an electronic copy of your academic transcripts to be considered for a preliminary interview. We look forward to meeting you in person.

Best Regards,

Matt Crye
